ABSTRACT

In some implementations, a device may obtain a set of input images, of an object of interest, that includes images that have a plain background. The device may obtain a set of background images that includes images associated with the object of interest. The device may generate, for an input image, a first modified image of the input image that removes a plain background of the input image. The device may generate, for the input image, a second modified image of the input image that is based on the first modified image and a background image. The device may generate, for the input image, a training image that includes an indication of a location of the object of interest depicted in the training image. The device may provide the training image to a training set, that includes a set of training images, for a computer vision model.

BACKGROUND

Computer vision is an interdisciplinary scientific field that deals with how computers can be made to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. Computer vision tasks include acquiring, processing, analyzing and understanding digital images, and extraction of high-dimensional data from the real world in order to produce numerical or symbolic information. Computer vision may enable computers to identify and process objects in images and videos.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description of example implementations refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.

Computer vision models may enable a device (e.g., a computer) to recognize or identify different objects in an image or a video. For example, a computer vision model can be trained to recognize and/or identify an object in different images or videos. To train a computer vision model, many (e.g., hundreds or thousands) of training images of the object of interest (e.g., the object that the computer vision model is being trained to recognize and/or identify) must be input to the computer vision model. The training images may be images of the object of interest in an environment in which the object of interest would typically be found. For example, for an item that is typically sold in stores, the training images may be images of the object of interest in different stores (e.g., on a shelf, in a warehouse, and/or in a display) to enable the computer vision model to identify the object of interest in the environment in which the object of interest would typically be found.

Additionally, the training images must be tagged with a location of the object of interest within each training image. For example, to train the computer vision model, the computer vision model must be provided a training image that tells the computer vision model where the object of interest is located within the training image. As a result, the computer vision model can analyze the training image, with a knowledge of the location of the object of interest within the training image, to enable the computer vision model to recognize and/or identify the object of interest in other images or videos. Tagging of training images is a manual process that requires a user to analyze a training image and tag or indicate where the object of interest is located within the training image. For example, a user may draw or input a bounding box around the object of interest within the training image.

For a computer vision model to be sufficiently trained to recognize an object of interest, hundreds or thousands of training images associated with the object of interest must be provided to the computer vision model. As a result, this requires significant time, monetary, and processing overhead associated with manually tagging each training image that is to be provided to the computer vision model. A user may be required to capture hundreds or thousands of images to serve as training images. For example, the user may be required to capture images taken from different angles, in different locations, and/or in different environments (e.g., with different backgrounds). Moreover, as a user may be required to analyze and tag hundred or thousands of training images, a high rate of error may be introduced due to the user incorrectly or inaccurately tagging some of the training images. As a result, training a computer vision model to recognize tens, hundreds, or thousands of different objects of interest becomes an intensive task that consumes significant processing resources and time resources as the above process must be repeated for each object of interest. Further, if details or aspects of an object of interest change (e.g., if a packaging or display of the object of interest changes), then the computer vision model must be re-trained in the manner described above based on the new details or aspects of the object of interest, resulting in significant processing resources and time resources being consumed.

Some implementations described herein provide image creation for computer vision model training. For example, a system or platform can be provided with a small number (e.g., tens) of images of an object of interest. The system may automatically obtain a set of background images relevant to the object of interest. For example, if the object of interest is a cereal box, the system may automatically obtain background images of grocery stores or warehouses where a cereal box may typically be seen or found. As another example, if the object of interest is vehicle, the system may automatically obtain background images of streets, garages, and/or driveways.

The system may pre-process the images of the object of interest to isolate the object of interest in the image. For example, the system may remove a background, an outline, a mask, and/or crop the input image to isolate the object of interest in the image. The system may generate a training image by processing the isolated object of interest and a background image (e.g., automatically obtained by the system). For example, the system may rotate, skew, distort, and/or blur the isolated object of interest. The system may randomly place the isolated object of interest within the background image. The system may add randomized noise to the object of interest and/or the background image. The system may add a lighting effect to simulate spot lighting within the training image. The system can perform one or more (or all) of the above operations to generate a training image for a computer vision model. The system can repeat the above operations (e.g., randomly) for the input images and/or different background images to generate hundreds or thousands of training images to be provided to a computer vision model. By pre-processing and processing the input images with obtained background images, the system can generate synthetic training images that provide a similar level of training to a computer vision model as the manually captured and tagged training images described above. For example, by applying one or more (or all) of the above operations to generate a training image for a computer vision model, the system can avoid overfitting by the computer vision model to the provided input images and/or background images.

As the system has placed the isolated object of interest within the background image, the system has a knowledge of the location of the object of interest within the generated training image. Therefore, the system can automatically indicate a location of the object of interest within the generated training image (e.g., with a bounding box). This eliminates the risk of human error associated with manually tagging training images. Moreover, this significantly reduces the amount of time associated with generating a set of training images for a computer vision model.

As a result, the system enables training of a computer vision model from a small number of input images. As the input images are not required to be captured in different locations, and/or in different environments (e.g., with different backgrounds), the number of input images required is significantly reduced, thereby conserving computing resources (e.g., processing resources and/or memory resources) that would have otherwise have been used to process and store hundreds or thousands of input images. Moreover, the system provides an end-to-end system that is capable of training a computer vision model to recognize an object of interest based on a small number (e.g., tens) of input images of the object of interest without any additional user input or user intervention. This conserves significant time resources that would have otherwise been used to capture and manually tag training images. Moreover, this conserves computing resources (e.g., processing resources and/or memory resources) that would have otherwise been used to receive, process, and/or store hundreds or thousands of input images.

FIGS. 1A-1D are diagrams of an example implementation 100 associated with image creation for computer vision model training. As shown in FIGS. 1A-1D, example implementation 100 includes a user device, an image generation system, and one or more data sources or databases. These devices are described in more detail below in connection with FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 .

As shown in FIG. 1A, and by reference number 102, the user device and/or the image generation system may capture or obtain one or more input images (e.g., a set of input images) of an object of interest. As described above, an object of interest may be an object that the computer vision model is being trained to recognize and/or identify. The object of interest can be any object that may appear in images or videos. As shown in FIGS. 1A-1D, the object of interest may be a cereal box. However, a cereal box is shown merely as an example and the processes and/or operations described herein may be similarly applied to any object of interest.

In some implementations, the user device may capture images of the object of interest using a camera of the user device. For example, a user may capture images of the object of interest using the camera of the user device. In some implementations, the user device may receive one or more images of the object of interest from another device (e.g., a server device or another user device).

As shown by reference number 104, the images captured using the user device may be associated with a plain background. A plain background may refer to a background that is substantially the same color and free of other objects or background objects or shapes. By capturing the images with a plain background, the image generation system may be enabled to remove the background from the image and isolate the object of interest within the input image, as described in more detail below. In some implementations, the images captured using the user device may be captured using a green screen background. In some implementations, the images captured using the user device may be captured on a floor or other surface that is substantially the same color and free of other objects.

In some implementations, the user device may obtain one or more input images from a web page or a web search. For example, the user device may search for images of the object of interest (e.g., that have a plain background). The user device may obtain one or more input images from another device (e.g., a server device or a data source) based on searching for images of the object of interest.

In some implementations, an input image may be a model or rendering of the object of interest. For example, an input image may be a three dimensional computer generated model of the object of interest that is obtained by the user device and/or the image generation system. The model or rendering of the object of interest may be a computer aided design (CAD) model and/or a photogrammetry model, among other examples.

In some implementations, the user device may capture and/or obtain the one or more input images via a web page being displayed on the user device and/or using an application that is executing on the user device. The web page or application may be provided by the image generation system. In some implementations, the web page or application may provide instructions or guidance to be displayed on the user device to assist a user when capturing the images of the object of interest. For example, the application may provide instructions or guidance to be displayed on the user device that indicates a type of image required, a number of images required, and/or instructions for the user, among other examples. For example, the application may cause an instruction of “take a picture from the left side of the object,” “take a picture from the top of the object,” and/or “take three more images of the object,” to be displayed on the user device. This may ensure that a sufficient number of images are captured by the user device and/or that the images captured by the user device are of sufficient quality and/or are from a sufficient number of angles.

In some implementations, the application may provide a pre-processed image of the object of interest for display on the user device. For example, as described in more detail below, the image generation system may pre-process an input image to isolate the object of interest within the input image (e.g., by removing the background of the input image, outlining the object of interest, and/or masking the object of interest). The input generation system may cause a pre-processed image of the image captured by the user device (or of an image that is currently being viewed on the user device via the camera of the user device) to be displayed on the user device. This enables the user to view and inspect the pre-processed version of the image before submitted the image to the image generation system as an input image. As a result, the user may be enabled to detect when a background is not successfully removed (e.g., due to the background being insufficiently plain or uniform in color) and/or errors in the pre-processing of the image (e.g., resulting in the object of interest being unsuccessfully isolated). This may conserve resources (e.g., computing resources) that would have otherwise been used if the user were to submit an input image that would be unsuccessfully pre-processed by the image generation system.

As shown by reference number 106, the user device may obtain a set of input images to be provided to the image generation system. As described above, the set of input images may include images captured by a camera of the user device, images obtained by the user device (e.g., from another device or from a web search), and/or models or renderings of the object of interest, among other examples.

As shown by reference number 108, the user device may provide the set of input images of the object of interest to the image generation system. In some implementations, the user device may provide the set of input images via the application executing on the user device. In some implementations, the user device may indicate descriptive information associated with the set of input images. For example, a user may input a name or description of the object of interest. The descriptive information may be provided to the image generation system along with the set of input images.

In some implementations, the image generation system may obtain one or more input images (e.g., in addition to, or instead of, the set of input images provided by the user device). For example, the image generation system may obtain one or more input images via an automated web-based interaction (e.g., web searching and/or web crawling). The image generation system may search for the one or more input images based on the descriptive information provided by the user device.

In some implementations, the image generation system may analyze (e.g., using a computer vision technique) one or more input images provided by the user device to identify a content or a tag associated with the object of interest. For example, for an input image of a cereal box, the image generation system may analyze (e.g., using a computer vision technique) the input image to identify that the object of interest is a cereal box. The image generation system may search for one or more additional input images based on identifying the content or tag associated with an input image provided by the user device.

The image generation system may store the set of input images. For example, the image generation system may store the set of input images in a database, in a server device, and/or in a cloud-based device (e.g., a cloud-based server device), among other examples.

As shown in FIG. 1B, and by reference number 110, the image generation system may obtain one or more (e.g., a set of) background images that are relevant to the object of interest. A background image may be an image (e.g., a stock image) of an environment or location in which the object of interest (e.g., depicted in the set of input images) may be typically found. For example, if the object of interest is a cereal box, then a background image may include an image of store shelves, the interior of a grocery store, and/or a warehouse, among other examples. As another example, if the object of interest is a dinner table, then a background image may include an image of a dining room, an empty room, and/or a kitchen, among other examples.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the image generation system may obtain the background images from a data source (and/or a database). For example, the image generation system may communicate with the data source to search for and/or obtain the background images. As shown by reference number 112, the image generation system may analyze one or more of the input images to determine a content of the input image (e.g., of the object of interest). For example, the image generation system may analyze an input image using a computer vision technique (or a computer vision platform or model) to obtain the content of the object of interest (e.g., based on an output of the computer vision platform or model). For example, for an input image of a cereal box, the image generation system may determine that the content or the category of the input image is groceries, cereal, food boxes, and/or a brand of the cereal box, among other examples. As another example, for an input image of a baseball bat, the image generation system may determine that the content of the input image is sports equipment, baseball, and/or bat, among other examples.

As shown by reference number 114, the image generation system may determine a category of the object of interest based on the content of the input image. The category of the object of interest may be a generic category associated with the content of the input image. For example, for the input image of a cereal box, the image generation system may determine that the category of the object of interest is food and/or groceries, among other examples. As another example, for the input image of a baseball bat, the image generation system may determine that the category of the object of interest is sports equipment, among other examples.

As shown by reference number 116, the image generation system may determine a background category based on the category of the object of interest. The background category may be a generic category corresponding to images of environments or locations where objects associated with the category of the object of interest may be typically found or located. For example, for a category of food or groceries, a background category may be grocery stores, food stores, store shelves, and/or warehouses, among other examples. As another example, for the category of sports equipment, a background category may be a sports field, a baseball field, and/or a sports equipment retail store, among other examples.

In some implementations, the image generation system may determine the background category based at least in part on a database or a dictionary stored by the image generation system. For example, the image generation system may compile a database that correlates categories of an object of interest to a background category. For example, the database may indicate that a background category of grocery stores is associated with an object of interest category of food, groceries, cereal, vegetables, meat, fish, produce, and/or any other category of item or product that is typically found or sold in a grocery store. The image generation system may search or parse the database based on the identified or determined category of the object of interest, as described above (e.g., cereal box and/or food as shown in FIGS. 1A-1D), to identify a background category associated with the category of the object of interest.

As shown by reference number 118, the image generation system may search for background images based on the identified background category. For example, the image generation system may search for background images via an automated web-based interaction (e.g., web crawling or web searching). By searching for background images via an automated web-based interaction, the image generation system may conserve memory resources that would have otherwise been used to store a plurality of background images.

In some implementations, the image generation system may search a background image database for background images based on the identified background category. For example, the image generation system may store a plurality of background images in the background image database. The image generation system may search the background image database based on the identified background category. By storing the plurality of background images in the background image database, the image generation system may ensure that the images stored in the background image database are of a sufficient quality and/or size to be used by the image generation system.

In some implementations, the image generation system may determine one or more usage constraints and/or one or more size constraints for background images. A usage constraint may be related to an availability of the background image for use by the image generation system. For example, a use of some images may be restricted (e.g., due to an ownership of the image and/or copyright protection of the image). The usage constraint may indicate that only images that are available (e.g., publicly available) for use by the image generation system should be obtained by the image generation system (e.g., when searching for background images, as described above). A size constraint may indicate a minimum and/or a maximum size of images to be obtained by the image generation system (e.g., when searching for background images, as described above). For example, it may be beneficial to obtain background images that are larger in size to enable the image generation system to place the object of interest in more locations in the background images, resulting in a higher number of generated training images and/or a larger variation between the generated training images, as described in more detail below. The image generation system may search for background images based on the one or more usage constraints and/or one or more size constraints for background images.

As shown by reference number 120, the image generation system may obtain one or more (e.g., a set of) background images relevant to the object of interest based on searching for the background images as described above. For example, the image generation system may communicate with a data source, a database, and/or a server device to obtain a set of background images that meet a search criteria (e.g., background category, one or more usage constraints, and/or one or more size constraints) identified by the image generation system in the search. For example, as shown by reference number 122, an obtained background image for the input image of a cereal box may be an aisle of a store (e.g., a grocery store). The image generation system may store the set of background images. For example, the image generation system may store the set of background images in a database, in a server device, and/or in a cloud-based device (e.g., a cloud-based server device), among other examples.

In some implementations, the image generation system may analyze the obtained background images to ensure that the obtained background images can be used by the image generation system. For example, the image generation system may analyze the obtained background images to ensure that the obtained background images are of a sufficient quality to be used by the image generation system. In some implementations, the image generation system may analyze the obtained background images to determine a content and/or category of the obtained background images to ensure that the obtained background images are relevant to the object of interest. By analyzing the obtained background images in this manner, the image generation system can ensure that training images generated by the image generation system (e.g., as described below in more detail) are generated using high quality and/or accurate (e.g., depicting a correct background category) background images. This conserves computing resources (e.g., processing resources and/or memory resources) that would have otherwise been used generating training images using background images that have a low quality and/or that depict an incorrect background category.

As shown in FIG. 1C, and by reference number 124, the image generation system may perform pre-processing of input images included in the set of input images. For example, the image generation system may perform pre-processing (e.g., as described herein) for each input image included in the set of input images. Pre-processing may refer to one or more steps or operations performed by the image generation system to isolate or remove the object of interest from an input image. The image generation system may detect an outline of the object of interest in the input image. For example, the image generation system may detect the outermost pixels of the input image based on the plain (e.g., solid color and/or uniform color) background of the input image. The image generation system may perform a masking operation to mask the object of interest to ensure that no details of the object of interest are lost during other pre-processing operations or processing operations, as described in more detail below. A pre-processed image may be referred to herein as a first modified image or a first image (e.g., obtained from an input image).

The image generation system may perform an operation to remove a background from the input image. As described above, the input image may include a plain (e.g., solid color and/or uniform color) background. The image generation system may detect the color of the background of the input image. The image generation system may remove the background of the input image by removing the color of the background from the input image. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, a background of an input image may be grey. The image generation system may remove the color grey from the input image (e.g., as shown by reference number 126). In some cases, removal of the background from the input image may generate noise within the image. The image generation system may perform a noise reduction operation to remove any noise generated from the background removal.

The image generation system may perform an operation to crop the input image based on the size of the object of interest. For example, the image generation system may perform an operation to reduce a size of the input image to a smallest size that contains the object of interest. In other words, the image generation system may crop the input image such that the size of the input image is the smallest size possible while still depicting all details of or parts of the object of interest.

The image generation system may use the masking content of the object of interest (e.g., as described above) to ensure that all details and aspects of the object of interest are maintained in the pre-processed image. For example, in some cases, the object of interest may include aspects that have a similar color as the background of the input image. As a result, the image generation system may remove the color from these aspects when removing the background of the input image. Therefore, the image generation system may use the masking content of the object of interest to ensure that any details or aspects of the object of interest that were removed during a pre-processing operation are maintained or added back to the object of interest. As shown by reference number 126, an example of a pre-processed input image is depicted. The pre-processed image may not include a color of the background of the input image (e.g., grey as shown in FIG. 1A) and/or may be cropped to the smallest size while still including the object of interest (e.g., the cereal box as shown in FIG. 1C).

As shown by reference number 128, the image generation system may perform processing of input images included in the set of input images. For example, the image generation system may perform processing (e.g., as described herein) for each input image included in the set of input images. “Processing of an input image” may refer to modifying the object of interest, as depicted in the input image and/or obtained from a pre-processed input image, and/or modifying a background image (e.g., from the set of background images obtained by the image generation system) to generate a training image. The image generation system may perform processing of an input image to simulate real world lighting and/or camera effects. Processing operations may include one or more operations described herein in connection with reference numbers 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, and/or 138.

By processing input images as described herein, the image generation system may avoid or reduce a likelihood of overfitting by the computer vision model. “Overfitting” may refer to the computer vision model being trained using an insufficiently large number training images, resulting in the computer vision model being able to recognize and/or identify only the specific object of interest within the specific background(s) of the training images. By processing the input images, as described herein, the image generation system may generate training images that are sufficiently different and have sufficient variations to ensure that the computer vision model is not trained to recognize only the set of input images within the set of background images obtained by the image generation system. As a result, the image generation system is enabled to train a computer vision model with a relatively small number (e.g., tens) of input images while also avoiding overfitting of the computer vision model to the input images provided.

In some implementations, processing of an input image may include rotating the image of the object of interest (e.g., that is obtained via the pre-processing of an input image). For example, the image generation system may perform an operation to rotate the image of the object of interest. In some implementations, the image generation system may randomly rotate the image of the object of interest. The operation to rotate the image of the object of interest may cause training images to be generated by the image generation system having the object of interest shown in different orientations.

In some implementations, processing of an input image may include scaling or modifying the size of the object of interest as depicted in the image that is obtained via the pre-processing of an input image. For example, the image generation system may perform an operation to modify the size of the image that is obtained via the pre-processing of an input image (and/or of the object of interest as depicted in the image that is obtained via the pre-processing of an input image). In some implementations, the image generation system may randomly modify the size of the object of interest as depicted in the image that is obtained via the pre-processing of an input image (e.g., within a bound of a range of sizes to ensure that the details or aspects of the object of interest are maintained when the size is modified).

In some implementations, the image generation system may modify the size of the image that is obtained via the pre-processing of an input image based on a size of a selected background image. For example, the image generation system may select a background image from the set of background images obtained by the image generation system, as described below in more detail, to be included in a generated training image. The image generation system may modify or scale the size of the object of interest, as depicted in the pre-processed image, based on the size of the selected background image to ensure that the training image depicts the object of interest in a size that is appropriate for the background image selected.

In some implementations, processing of an input image may include masking the object of interest (e.g., after performing an operation to rotate, scale, and/or modify the size of the object of interest as depicted in a pre-processed image). For example, the image generation system may detect an outline of the object of interest after the object of interest has been rotated and/or scaled, as described above. The image generation system may create a masking content of the object of interest based on detecting the outline of the object of interest. The image generation system may perform one or more operations to ensure that there are no holes and/or to fill in any holes (e.g., missing details from incorrect removal of a background color) within the object of interest as depicted. The image generation system may mask an original image of the object of interest (e.g., showing all of the details of the object of interest) to the processed image to ensure that the details of the object of interest are depicted in the processed image.

As shown by reference number 130, an example processed image (e.g., after the image generation system performs one or more operations to rotate, scale, modify the size of, and/or mask the object of interest as depicted in a pre-processed image) is depicted. As shown in FIG. 1C, the processed image may have a reduced size and/or may be rotated from the pre-processed image shown by reference number 126.

As shown in FIG. 1D, and by reference number 132, the image generation system may place an image of the object of interest (e.g., the processed image described above in connection with reference number 128) in or on a background image. For example, as described above, the image generation system may select a background image from the set of background images obtained by the image generation system. In some implementations, the image generation system may randomly select a background image from the set of background images. For example, the image generation system may merge the image of the object of interest and the background image to form a single image.

The image generation system may randomly place the image of the object of interest in or on the selected background image. That is, the image generation system may place the image of the object of interest in a random location within the selected background image. By randomly placing the image of the object of interest in or on the selected background image, the image generation system may ensure that training images are generated by the image generation system having the object of interest in different locations of a background image.

As shown by reference number 134, the image generation system may perform one or more processing operations on the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image to generate a training image. For example, the image generation system may process the image that includes the image of the object of interest and the selected background image to simulate real world camera effects, such as camera noise, motion blur, and/or lighting effects, among other examples.

For example, when an image is captured using a camera, the camera may introduce noise to the image captured by the camera. For example, noise may be introduced into an image due to static electricity within components of the camera and/or heat generated by a sensor of the camera. If a computer vision model were to be trained using training images that did not include this noise, then the computer vision model may be unable to recognize the object of interest in images that do include this type of noise. Similarly, lighting conditions in the real world may vary based on where light is originating from when an image is captured. If a computer vision model were to be trained using training images that included a light source from only one location (e.g., from behind the object of interest), then the computer vision model may be unable to recognize the object of interest in images that have lighting originating from other locations (e.g., from in front of the object of interest). By performing these processing operations, as described below in more detail, the image generation system may ensure that the computer vision model is not trained to recognize the object of interest only as depicted in the input images provided to the image generation system and/or the background images obtained by the image generation system (e.g., to avoid overfitting by the computer vision model).

In some implementations, the image generation system may perform an operation to add noise to the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image. For example, the image generation system may add impulse noise, fat-tail distributed noise, and/or Gaussian noise, among other examples, to the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image to simulate noise that would be generated by a camera in a real world scenario. Impulse noise and fat-tail distributed noise may sometimes be referred to as salt-and-pepper noise.

In some implementations, the image generation system may perform an operation to add a motion blur effect to the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image. “Motion blur” may refer to the apparent streaking of moving objects in an image that is caused when the image being captured changes during the capturing of a single exposure of the image. For example, when a camera creates an image in the real world, that image does not represent a single instant of time. Because of technological constraints or artistic decisions, the image may represent the scene being captured over a period of time. Most often this exposure time is brief enough that the image captured by the camera appears to capture an instantaneous moment. However, in some cases, such as with a fast moving object, a movement of the camera, and/or a longer exposure time, a blurring effect may be captured in the image. The image generation system may randomly add a blurring effect to the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image to simulate the blurring effects that result in real world scenarios.

In some implementations, the image generation system may perform an operation to add a lighting effect to the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image. For example, the image generation system may perform an operation to modify the lighting effects as depicted in the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image. For example, as described above, in the real world, lighting conditions may vary. For example, light may originate from different locations and/or different angles causing different lighting effects to be depicted in captured images or videos. The image generation system may perform an operation to simulate different spot lighting or different lighting effects within the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image. In some implementations, the image generation system may randomly change lighting conditions depicted in the object of interest and/or the selected background image. As a result, the image generation system may avoid or reduce a likelihood of the computer vision model being trained to recognize an object of interest only when the lighting conditions are as depicted in the image of the object of interest and/or the selected background image (e.g., may avoid or reduce a likelihood of overfitting by the computer vision model).

As shown by reference number 136, an example of a generated training image is depicted (e.g., generated based on performing one or more (or all) of the operations described above). In some implementations, the image generation system may perform an operation to include an indication of the location of the object of interest within the background image. For example, the image generation system may add a bounding box, as shown by reference number 138, to the generated training image. In some implementations, the image generation system may include a JavaScript object notation (JSON) code that indicates the object of interest location within the generated training image (e.g., that indicates the location of the bounding box). In some implementations, the indication of the location of the object of interest may be generated during the pre-processing and/or processing stages (e.g., before the image of the object of interest is added to or placed in the selected background image).

In some implementations, a benefit (e.g., in training the computer vision model using the generated training images) may be realized by performing processing operations in a particular order. For example, an order of the processing operations (e.g., after pre-processing an input image) may be first placing the pre-processed image randomly within a selected background image, second randomly rotating the pre-processed image, third randomly skewing or distorting (e.g., modifying the size) of the pre-processed image (e.g., in both an x-axis direction and a y-axis direction), fourth adding a random amount of motion blur to the pre-processed image and/or the selected background image, fifth adding a random amount of noise (e.g., salt-and-pepper noise and/or Gaussian noise) to the pre-processed image and/or the selected background image indiscriminately, and sixth randomly simulating different lighting effects from any direction across the pre-processed image and/or the selected background image indiscriminately. By performing processing operations in this order, the image generation system may generate training images that more accurately mirror or simulate images taken by cameras in the real world. As a result, a training of the computer vision model using the generated training images may be improved as the generated training images more accurately mirror or simulate images taken by cameras in the real world.

As shown by reference number 140, the image generation system may generate a training set for the computer vision model by generating a plurality of training images in a similar manner as described above. For example, after generating a training image in the manner as described above, the image generation system may add the training image to the training set. The image generation system may generate a plurality of training images using the set of input images (e.g., using the same input image and/or different input images) and the set of background images obtained by the image generation system (e.g., using the same background image and/or different background images). In this way, the image generation system may generate a training set that includes hundreds or thousands of the training images that are generated from a relatively small number (e.g., tens) of input images. The training images generated by the image generation system may accurately mirror or simulate images taken by cameras in the real world, enabling the computer vision model to be trained to recognize or identify the object of interest depicted in the input images.

As shown by reference number 142, the image generation system may provide the training set (e.g., the plurality of training images generated by the image generation system) to the computer vision model to train the model to recognize and/or identify the object of interest. For example, the image generation system may train the computer vision model using the training set. As a result, the computer vision model may be enabled to recognize and/or identify the object of interest in an image or video that is input to the computer vision model.

The image generation system described herein enables training of the computer vision model from a small number (e.g., tens) of input images. As the input images are not required to be captured in different locations, and/or in different environments (e.g., with different backgrounds), the number of input images required is significantly reduced, thereby conserving computing resources (e.g., processing resources and/or memory resources) that would have otherwise been used to process and store hundreds or thousands of input images. Moreover, the image generation system provides an end-to-end system that is capable of training a computer vision model to recognize an object of interest based on a small number (e.g., tens) of input images of the object of interest without any additional user input or user intervention (e.g., without any manual tagging or user review of the input images). This conserves significant time resources that would have otherwise been used to capture and manually tag training images. Moreover, this conserves computing resources (e.g., processing resources and/or memory resources) that would have otherwise been used to receive, process, and/or store hundreds or thousands of input images. Furthermore, if details or aspects of an object of interest change (e.g., if a packaging or display of the object of interest changes), the image generation system may re-train the computer vision model to recognize the object of interest (e.g., with the new details or aspects) from a small number of input images, rather than requiring hundreds or thousands of images of the object of interest (e.g., with the new details or aspects) to re-train the computer vision model.
